AI Article Synopsis
- Mepivacaine and prilocaine infusions in rats significantly reduced pressure increases caused by adrenaline, with mepivacaine being more effective.
- The study highlights a contrast between the anti-constrictory effects observed with intraluminal infusions versus variable effects from injections.
- Lidocaine also demonstrated similar anti-constrictory effects, indicating that local anesthetics may not specifically act against adrenaline's effects, challenging previous assumptions.
Article Abstract
Infusions of mepivacaine 5 or 50 micrograms.min-1 and prilocaine 50 micrograms.min-1 for 10 min into the maxillofacial arterial vasculature of the anaesthetized rat curtailed significantly rises in infusion pressure induced by the administration of adrenaline via the same route. The effect of mepivacaine was significantly greater than that of prilocaine. Such anti-constrictory action following intraluminal infusion, also shown by lidocaine in a previous study, contrasts with the variable (dilatory or constrictory) consequences of perivascular injections of the same local anaesthetics. Moreover, the equi-constrictory effects of (a) 1.10(-3) IU felypressin and (b) 120 ng adrenaline were attenuated to the same extent by lidocaine 5 micrograms.min-1 for 10 min, demonstrating that the anti-constrictory action of local anaesthetics is not specifically anti-adrenergic as has been suggested previously.

Background: Few studies have explored the relationship between macronutrient intake and sleep outcomes using daily data from mobile apps.
Objective: This cross-sectional study aimed to examine the associations between macronutrients, dietary components, and sleep parameters, considering their interdependencies.
Methods: We analyzed data from 4825 users of the Pokémon Sleep and Asken smartphone apps, each used for at least 7 days to record objective sleep parameters and dietary components, respectively.
IL-34 aggravates myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury by upregulating the HMGB1-IL-17A-IL-6 axis through the JAK signaling pathway.

Interleukin-34 (IL-34) was recently reported to be a new biomarker for atherosclerosis diseases, such as coronary artery disease and vascular dementia. IL-34 regulates the expression of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-17A, IL-1 and IL-6), which are classical cytokines involved in myocardial ischemia‒reperfusion (MI/R) injury. However, the exact role of IL-34 in MI/R remains unknown.

Polyimide (PI)-based gas separation membranes are of great interest in the field of H purification owing to their good thermal stability, chemical stability, and mechanical properties. Among polyimide-based membranes, intrinsically microporous polyimides are easily soluble in common organic solvents, showing great potential for fabricating hollow fiber gas separation membranes. However, based on the solution-diffusion model, improving the free volume or the movability of polymer chains can improve gas permeability, but would result in poor thermal stability.

Background: Nasal high flow (NHF) has been proposed to sustain high intensity exercise in people with COPD, but we have a poor understanding of its physiological effects in this clinical setting.
Research Question: What is the effect of NHF during exercise on dynamic respiratory muscle function and activation, cardiorespiratory parameters, endurance capacity, dyspnoea and leg fatigue as compared to control intervention.
Study Design And Methods: Randomized single-blind crossover trial including COPD patients.
